AWR-fix: OFHG repair w/o intake removal

AWR-Fix: OFHG without intake removal
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/top...ink_source=app

I posted at E70 but i think all inline six have the same moronic design where one screw is impossible to get out with the intake on the car.

I didn't do the hack the first time on n55 due to concern of the boost pressure.

I had a spare (blown) motor so I did a test and that went well so i re-did on the replacement motor.

I had to move the OFH from old to new motor anyhow: i think the accident that killed the host car also broke the OFH and they swapped on a model with no oil cooler.

A little bit of JB Kwik over the seam and it's good to go I wish I'd have done the trick on my e53.
